Take out the right hand rack bolt, so that the rack can move forwards.
Screwdriver to open the clamp for the splines slightly.

They can sometimes be a git right up to the point when they come off / go on easily. Persevere

[cliffybabe]

im getting the right hump now (whos idea was it to get that 6 branch), I just cannot get the cupling to release i have tried opening up the spline and wcking it etc and it just will no come off.

When and if i do get the cupling off im guessing im best off put the lower section on first, is this right??

Going to have another og tomorrow night, But if the new cupling aint back on by friday the cab will not be making it to lakeside

i feel for you mate, done mine last week, like chris w says, mine was tight right to the point i jam,ed my fingers between the cuppling and the bulk head!

turn the air con off then, you pr!ck!!!

maybe when the guy who put your manifold on, f*cked your coupling when putting it on, and therefore you're having grief getting it off?

if only i was there to lead the way cliffy... you are young, but you will learn!

azza, stop taking the p!ss and get round there and help him!!!

[cliffybabe]

when the lakeside meet up?

On this Sat 25th @ 6 o'clock

[stuartgallafant]

well done mate, finally got it on there!!

although i honestly cant see it being lowered by then.

and also, we've had this conversation about your car getting lowered... you gotta sort out the rest of the sh!t thats wrong with the suspension before it gets lowered

your car doesnt drive right, and lowering it is really gonna screw things up

i've promised you i'll do the work. but i cant do it until you stop f*cking around with it...
